Who we are
This website (ecoglow.co.uk) is run by the EcoGlow student project, which is the data controller for personal data collected through the site. You can contact us at hello@ecoglow.co.uk.
What we collect and why
- Contact form: your name, email address and message, so we can reply to your enquiry. Lawful basis: legitimate interests.
- Newsletter sign-up: your name and email address, so we can send the newsletter you asked for. Lawful basis: consent, which you can withdraw at any time.
- Checkout (simulated): your name, address, email, phone number and order details, so we can process and record your order. Lawful basis: contract.
- Analytics (only if you accept analytics cookies): pages viewed, device type and approximate location, so we can understand how the site is used and improve it. Lawful basis: consent.
Who we share it with
- Our web host, which stores the website and its database in a secure data centre.
- Google Analytics, which collects usage statistics only with your consent. Google may process data outside the UK under approved safeguards.
- We never sell your personal data.
How long we keep it
Contact messages and order records are kept for up to 12 months. Newsletter subscribers are kept until they unsubscribe. Because this is a time-limited university project, all personal data will be deleted when the project ends.
Your rights
You have the right to access, correct or delete your data, to restrict or object to processing, to data portability and to withdraw consent at any time. Email hello@ecoglow.co.uk to make a request. If you’re unhappy with how we handle your data, you can complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk.
